August 16, 1977, the news comes on the radio that Elvis Presley, King of Rock and Roll had died at his Graceland mansion, he was 42.  I wasn't even a fan, yet it affected me.  At only 14 years-old, the news of Elvis' passing had a great affect on me.  I guess you might say, my world kinda changed that day.

And then the news of Aretha Franklin's death today, August, 16, 2018.  The King of Rock and Roll and the Queen of Soul, both gone on the same date.  The music world will never be the same.

In my message today, I relive the day I heard the news of Elvis' passing.  Long live the King.
